College Football Bowl Play of the Day: Orange Bowl

It's Big East vs. ACC in the Orange Bowl.

West Virginia vs. Clemson.

This game looks like kind of a letdown after a great slate of BCS games so far.  Both teams are coming off wins.  Clemson was impressive over Virginia Tech and West Virginia took care of South Florida.

Oddsmakers have Clemson favored by 3 and I love that.  Tajh Boyd quietly threw for 31 TDs this season leading the Tigers.  Look for Boyd to have a big game on this national stage.

Clemson will outscore West Virginia and win by 9.

The Orange Bowl: Stanford vs. Virginia Tech

Am Orange Bowl featuring two of the hottest teams in college football.  Virginia Tech went 11-0 straight up and 9-2 against the spread after losing to Boise State and James Madison to open the year.

Stanford, meanwhile, blew out the majority of its opponents and led Oregon 21-3 after the first quarter before losing 52-31 in the end.

Stanford is giving VA Tech 3.5 pts, but I still like the Cardinal.

Stanford features the best quarterback in college football and a sure fire NFL starter in Andrew Luck.  The Hokies are stout on defense, one of the best teams at stopping opponents on 3rd down.  3rd downs will be crucial in this game. 

The Cardinal are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  Look for them to be 5-0-1 after tonight's game.  Go with Stanford.
